Weekly setup
Constructive, but selective
The weekly trend is active. Price is 12.0% above the Trend Line and sits at 70.8% of its 52-week range. The latest completed week returned 3.2%, after a 0.7% four-week move. The latest factor snapshot indicates quality ranks weakly versus its universe; growth is moderate; valuation is neither clearly cheap nor expensive. The latest news-sentiment score is 56/100. Near-term considerations: volume confirmation is below normal.
